I'd like to piggy back on the other two replies.

Back in grad school when I studied Audiology, I learned what a difficult
disease Meniere's is to treat.

Here's a Reflexology anecdote I can share with you...A few years ago when I
was just learning to use reflexology, a waitress at a restaurant that I
frequented was complaining of frequent bouts of Meniere's. I showed her how
to work on her thumbs so that she would cover the brain(cranial nerve VIII
innervates the inner ear, where fluid imbalance in the three semi-circular
canals can occur, leading to vertigo) and inner ear reflex areas. A couple
of weeks later she came over to my table and told me that she had been
working her thumbs every time she had a sense of oncoming symptoms and the
pre-symptoms feeling disappeared. I checked with her a couple of times over
the following months, and she said that she had not experienced an attack
since she had been treating herself. Her story was quite validating to a
beginning reflexologist.

I do like the idea of working directly on the ears and specific meridian
points and would probably do that if I now had a client with Meniere's.
